PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
2-1) Introduction of main function
THE SAMSUNG side by side refrigerator has the following characteristics:
TDM System(Time-Divided-Multi-evaporator system)
Each compartment has one evaporator, so this refrigerator has
4 evaporators. Also, microprocessors and a refrigerant control
valve control the refrigeration cycle of the 4 evaporators to
achieve high efficiency and high humidity in the fridge. Food
odor from one compartment of the refrigerator does not affect
food in the other compartments because of separate cooler
and air flow systems.
Multi-Flow System
Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level.
This provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to
keep your food fresh longer.
Door Alarm
A beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra FreshTM
Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Arctic Select ZoneTM Drawer
The Arctic Select Zone Drawer is convertible from a freezer
to a refrigerator by the TDM system. The user can select
Power Freeze, Freezer, Soft Freeze, or Cool according to the
type of food.
Fresh Select ZoneTM Drawer
The user can select Soft Freeze, Chill, Cool or Fresh
according to the type of food. Especially in Cool and Fresh,
the drawer humidity is high by the TDM system.
NOTE
This operation instruction covers various models.

The characteristics of your appliance may differ slightly from those described in this
manual.

3-2) Temperature Control Operation

1) Temperature Selection for the Freezer Compartment
1-1) There are automatic temperature asettings of -2 for the freezer compartment and 38 for the fridge compartment
when initially applying electric power after installing refrigerator.
The numbers on the display represent the inside temperature of the refrigerator product. when the set
temperature and the displayed temperature are diffrent from each other, it will be automatically adjusted to the
set temperature. (actual display range of temperature : 15 ~ 80 for the fridge compartment and 25 ~80
for the freezer compartment)
when the freezer temperature is set, it will display the set temperature for the first 5 seconds. and then, it will
display its current temperature.
1-2) The temperature of the freezer compartment may be set to 6 ~ 14 by operating the temperature selection
button for the freezer compartment.

2-2) Temperature that has been set for the freezer compartment/ the refrigerator compartment may vary by a little
difference depending on ambient temperature and users food storage style. (Take heed because if food would
contact too closely with refrigerator temperature sensor position, then under cooling overcooling may arise as
Note) If temperature in the freezer compartment is lower than 41 (when electric power is supplied again after
momentary electricity interruption / when electric power had been cut off for a short time by unstable electric
supply because of electricity supply line problem so as to be connected again, then the refrigerator judges it as
momentary power interruption. So the refrigerator reads again to use them after saving the temperatures and
the functions that had been set in EEPROM

3-3) Power Freeze and Power cool Operation
1) Power Freeze Operation
1-1) Select 'Power Freeze' by pressing the freezer compartment button. If 'Power Freeze' function is selected, icon display
immediately changes to show the newly selected condition but actual function starts to operate after 10 seconds. Where
if 'Power Freeze' function is terminated by reselecting the ordinary freezer compartment button during performance
of 'Power Freeze' selection, then icon turns off simultaneously with button input as well as 'Power Freeze' function is
instantly terminated.
1-2) If power freeze is selected, the COMP and F-FAN operate continuously for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
1-3) The refrigerator compartment operates per the current set condition even during power freeze operation.
1-4) When power freeze is terminated, ICON signifying the power freeze turns off automatically and operation there is by
temperature ordinarily set for the freezer compartment. This temperature ordinarily set for the freezer compartment
when power freezing operation has been terminated is automatically set at -2
1-5) Even if the condition to start defrosting has been met while the power freezing is in progress, defrosting is delayed
until termination of power freezing. If power freezing is selected during defrosting , the ICON turns on readily but the
COMP and F-FAN turn on only after defrosting is terminated.
2) Power cool Operation
2-1) If power cool is selected by pressing the fridge compartment button, icon display is lighted and the operation is
executed. If power cool is canceled by using the fridge compartment button, the icon is extinguished simultaneously
and the well as power cool operation is terminated instantly.
2-2) The temperature setting of the freezer compartment is feasible even under the condition where power freezing has
been selected.
2-3) If power cool is selected, COMP and R-FAN operate continuously until the fridge compartment temperature drops
down to 24.8 When the function automatically terminates if the continuous operation time reaches 2 hours 30
minutes.
2-4) If the fridge compartment temperature reached 24.8 power cool function terminates after operation for 1 hour at
33.8 by in inside function irrespective of current setting.
2-5) Icon of power cool is automatically extinguished at time point when power cool function is terminated (namely either
after elapse of 2 hours 30 minutes or after termination of operation for 1 hour at 33.8 from time point of arriving at
24.8 ) and afterwards operation is according to temperature ordinarily set for the fridge compartment. (The fridge
compartment is converted to the setting of 37.4 when power cool function is automatically terminated.)
2-6) Control may vary according to various variables (temperature setting etc.) besides the above conditions.
3) If Power Freezing and Power cool Have Been Selected Simultaneously
3-1) The respective functions apply simultaneously. Namely the power freezing operates the COMP. and F-FAN
continuously without restriction to the power cool function, while this power cool function operates the COMP and RFAN continuously until the Fridge Compartment temperature drops down to 24.8 .
17

4) At Initial Power On
4-1) At initial power on of fridge product when temperature in the freezer compartment is not lower than 14 and
temperature in the fridge compartment is not lower than 50 , if power freezing and power cool functions are
selected, operation will be different from the above functions.
4-2) In this case, R-FAN turns off for a little while if power freezing is selected whereas F-FAN turns off for a little while
if power cool is selected. This operation works only once at time of initial power on.
4-3) This function is to powerfully cool down only the ROOM preferably wanted by customer when using fridge
product for first time while temperature in product would be rather high.
3-4) Lock Function
The lock function is set and canceled by the ICE-OFF and the LIGHT BUTTONS.
- Lock function is set if ICE-OFF BUTTON and LIGHT BUTTON are simultaneously depressed for 3
seconds under lock cancellation status.
- If the lock function has been set, then the ice selection function, functions related to the dispenser, and
all other functions are to be held because temperature control / power functions / Arctic Select Zone
function / Fresh Select Zone function / ice selection function etc. maintain their current setting conditions.
(when the lock LED is on.) This function has been developed to prevent random operation by children
(infants).
- If to cancel lock function under condition where lock function has been selected, then lock function may
be relieved if ICE-BUTTON and LIGHT BUTTON are simultaneously depressed for 3 seconds so as to be
able to operate on front panel.
If the lock function has been canceled, the lock LED turns off and you may perform key selection. We
recommend you to use lock function for user's necessity, and to be well acquainted with it in advance
because this function may bring about customer's NON-SENSE CALL.
3-5) Functions in Case Where Ice Dispenser and Water Dispenser Have Been Attached (External Type)
This function applies only for model where ice maker and ice/water dispenser have been attached.
1) CUBE / CRUSHED / ICE OFF Selection Function
1-1) This function is to operate in CUBE/ CRUSHED / (ICE OFF function according to selection upon DISPLAY by
user, which selection is made use by each corresponding button.
1-2) CRUSHED is automatically selected at initial POWER ON of the refrigerator product.
1-3) Water is extracted by operating the WATER SOLENOID VALVE under the condition of WATER LEVER ON.
1-4) Operate by using AUGERMOTOR and cubic ice solenoid the ice that has been made in ice tray when drawing
out ice after selecting the CUBE.
1-5) Operate by using only AUGER MOTOR the ice that has been made in ice tray when drawing out ice after
selecting the CRUSHED .
1-6) ICE-MAKER stops operation if function of ICE OFF has been selected. After if cubic /
crushed are selected, function of ice off is automatically halted so as to facilitate again
execution of ice maker function that was in use before ice off.
18
16

=> ICE-MAKER stops operation if function of ICE OFF has been selected. After if cubic / crushed
are selected, then water is supplied. If cubic / crushed are selected, now you can be promptly
provided with ice only that was already formed before selecting ice off.
1-7) When drawing out ice, this is extracted after DISPENSER SWITCH is depressed and ICE COVER is completely
opened.
1-8) ICE COVER is shut after 5 seconds from time point when DISPENSER SWITCH turned off after drawing out ice.
1-9) If DISPENSER SWITCH turned ON or WATER SWITCH turned ON, DISPENSER LAMP is lighted but turns off
after 5 seconds from time point when DISPENSER SWITCH and WATER SWITCH would have turned OFF.
Caution : because if ice cover is coercively closed then it may be damaged, please draw out ice once again if
ice cover would not be closed, so that the cover operate rationally.
Note) When drawing out ice after selecting the ice stop, only the ice remaining in ice tray may be drawn
out. And even when ice stop has been selected, cubic / crushed may be used restricted to the
remaining ice.
2) Water Dispenser Function
2-1) As this function is type of direct connection to water, it works so that water is extracted by opening of water
solenoid valve installed at right side of machine compartment if water lever is depressed. If abnormality occurred
in water dispenser function, repair it by checking solenoid itself, connection tube, water supply status etc.
3-6) Light Operation
6-1) This function is selected or canceled by light selection button.
6-2) If the light button is selected under light cancellation status, the LIGHT LED and the DISPENSER LIGHT turn on.
6-3) If the WATER SWITCH or the DISPENSER SWITCH is turned on, under the condition of light cancellation status, the
DISPENSER LIGHT turns on.
6-4) Under the condition of light function selection, the LIGHT LED and the DISPENSER LIGHT are always turned on
regardless of WATER SWITCH and DISPENSER SWITCH operation conditions.
3-7) Machine Room F-Fan Motor Delay Function

The temperature in this refrigerator is automatically controlled by program depending on ambient temperature.
Among the operative functions depending on ambient temperature, the compressor cooling fan (machine room
fan) is controlled as shown in the table below. Accordingly, in case that cooling fan may revolve with delay or
may not revolve at all according to conditions when operating the compressor, please be acquainted with
details and refer to them during service.

3-8) ICE-MAKER Function (applies only for model with dispenser function)
This ICE-MAKER function is option specification so as to be drawn to the function explanation for relevant
model.
ICE-MAKER is model attached with unit equipment where is furnished function of automatic ice making so
that ice may be made in container inside the freezer compartment and may be drawn out by using ice
dispenser under storage status ==> The equipment.
1) Initial Operation
This is operation at initial power on or at that after power off due to electricity interruption which operation is to
restore to horizontality by revolving ice extraction motor.
1-1) At first no operation is performed for 2 seconds after initial power on or after power returns after a momentary
power outage. But after that, an initial horizontality operation of the ice extraction is performed.
2-1) Because the condition of the ice maker is unknown, first the ice extraction motor is turned in the reverse direction
to let it come to its most horizontal position possible. The judgment of horizontal position is done by the ice
extraction S/W. If this S/W is on for more than 2 seconds during the reverse rotation of the ice extraction motor,
then it is judged that the transition to the most horizontal position possible has been made and the ice extraction
motor is stopped (1). It waits a second in this condition.
3-1) Because condition 2-1) is an upset twisted condition caused by the reverse direction rotation of 2 seconds after
sensing the horizontal position, the motor revolves in the forward direction for 200 ms after ice tray S/W off (2) and
then It waits 1 second.
4-1) Finally to achieve horizontality, the ice tray motor turns again in the reverse direction but it will stop immediately if
the ice tray S/W comes on (3), which condition may be interpreted as the horizontal
5-1) The standby condition is maintained for 2 hours regardless of any conditions after Ice-Tray horizontality operation.
Therefore, under the initial power on condition, there is no movement for 2 hours except for the ice tray
horizontality operation.
6-1) Ice is made if the ice making temperature has been reached according to the ice tray temperature check after a 2
hours wait period (initial ice extraction mode).

2) Water Supply Function
2-1) After finishing the ice extraction operation (initial ice extraction operation, normal ice extraction operation and ice
extraction operation of test function) and performing the ice receptacle horizontality operation, if it is judged to
have attained horizontality, then there is executed operation of water solenoid located in refrigerator machine
compartment for time check function so as to supply water into the ice maker receptacle.

3) Ice-Making Function
Here is referred to period until it is opined that water in ICE -TRAY(ice maker vessel) has completely become ice
after finishing the water supply operation, which period is judged by sensed temperature (which is alterable option)
of ice maker sensor.
3-1) The ice maker sensor temperature is automatically checked after 58 minutes have elapsed (65 minutes in case of
overload) from the time when water was supplied into the ice maker receptacle.
3-2) If the ice maker sensor maintains below stays 1.4 for 5 minutes, then it is judged that the ice making cycle has
been completed.
3-3) In case of initial electric power application to the product or in case of recovery from a power outage, the ice
extraction is operated after waiting 2 hours, not detaching the ice after checking the the ice maker sensor even
though the temperature may be checked to have reached below 1.4
Note) While it is not full of ice is not fully frozen or when ICE OFF has not been selected, it operates
internally at -13. until it becomes full of ice (until the ice tray is of ice). As soon as full ice is
achieved, the freezer compartment temperature is automatically controlled at the temperature set
by the customer.
4) Ice Extraction Function
The ice extraction function is to separate the ice in the ice extraction (ice maker vessel) after
completing the ice making process. This function is achieved by operating in accordance with to the
following steps. These operations are classified into full ice case and non-full ice case according to the
ice extraction S/W condition variation:
step 3 step 4
step 5
step 6
Full ice case : step 1 step 2
Non-full ice case : step 1 step 2 step 6
4-1) Step 1: this is stage to check firstly the ice making temperature in order to perform ice extraction where check is
performed both if the current ice making temerature is below 1.4 and if 90 minutes (55minutes in case
of power freezing) have elapsed after water supply.
- If the F compartment enters defrosting while waiting for ice tray, counting is restarted from 0 after defrosting is
completed so that the check is performed if the ice extraction waiting (58 minutes) has elapsed after defrosting
the F compartment. The ice maker temperature sensor enters step 2 if 5 minutes pass after going below 1.4 .
19

4-2) Step 2 : operation is to overturn tray in order to separate the ice in the ice tray where tray is overturned by
direction rotation of ice extraction motor.
-In case the storage container is full ice: if the ice extraction S/W is ON again before 3.6 seconds elapse from the
time the extraction S/W condition changed to on off has occurred after starting rotation of the ice extraction
motor, then this means that the storage tray is full of ice so that direction rotation of the motor is interrupted so as
to start reverse direcion rotation (horizontal movement) after waiting a second. Step 6 is executed.
- In case the storage is not full ice: if the ice extraction S/W is not ON again after 3.6 seconds from the time when
the ice extraction S/W condition changed to on off has occurred after starting rotation of the ice extraction
motor, then this is judged to mean that it is not full of ice, in which case normal ice extraction movement is
performed and step 3 is executed.
4-3) Step 3 : if the ice extraction S/W is not ON again after 3.6 seconds from the time when the ice extraction S/W
condition changed to on on off has occurred after starting rotation of the ice extraction motor, then this is
judged to mean that it is for normal ice extraction operation. If F compartment door is opened during ice extraction
operation thereafter, operation stops for a while and restarts after Door Close.
4-4) Step 4 : motor rotation stops if the ice extraction S/W turns on after 3.6 seconds have elapsed from the start of
the rotation. This point is the maximum torsion point and waits a second under this condition.
4-5) Step 5 : It is a step that ice extraction restores horizontally accomplished by reverse rotation of ice extraction
motor. So after step 4, the ice extraction motor turns in the reverse direction when the ice extraction S/W
always senses the full ice lever signal regardless of the ice existence of the ice storage container so as to
be called the "Return Pulse".
4-6) Step 6 : if the ice extraction S/W turns ON after the "Return Pulse, the reverse rotation of the ice extraction
horizontally motor stops and the ice extraction is judged to be in the horizontal position. If now it has
been restored horizontally after sensing full ice, water is not supplied but ice extraction is retried
consecutively in 1 hour intervals until full ice cancellation. So thereafter, water is supplied if normal ice
extraction has been performed.

5) Test Function
This function is useful when there is a need for forced operation for testing purposes, A/S, cleaning etc. This
function is executed when the test S/W attached to the automatic ice maker itself is pressed for more than
1.5 seconds.
5-1) The test function by pressing test button cannot be engaged during ice extraction, horizontality noise or water
supply operation but can operate when in the horizontal condition. Also, the test function cannot operate when ice
is full. The operation is only feasible when full ice has been relieved..
5-2) If the test button is pressed for more than 1. 5 seconds in horizontal status, the ice extraction is operated directly
regardless of the ice making condition of the ice maker container. Beware that water pours out if test function
operates with unfrozen water. 1 cycle of water supply is executed at the horizontal noise operation after the ice
transfer operation. Therefore it is feasible to check ice extraction operation, horizontality operation and water
supply problems by using the test button. When the test function is normally executed, the buzzer sounds ding
dong and the water supply function is executed. If buzzer does not sound "ding-dong", it signifies abnormality so
check and repair is needed.
5-3) If the water supply has finished, it then goes through a normal cycle of ice making
horizontality operation water supply again.
ice extraction
6) ICE OFF Function

Ice making can be stopped by pressing the ice selection button to select ICE OFF when either ice is not
wanted or its use is not needed.
6-1) ICE OFF is selected if the ice selection button is pressed on the DISPLAY and ICE OFF is canceled if the button
is pressed again.
6-2) When the electric power turns on, the refrigerator operates automatically in the ice making mode where fragment
ice is automatically selected and the lamp is lit.
6-3) If you want to, ICE OFF is selected by using the ice selection button, then the ice maker does not operate and it
maintains the stop condition.
21

6-4) Display lamp is directly extinguished right at the stop selection, but it maintains stop condition after the completion
of final water supply if water supply, ice extraction or horizontality noise is under progress.
7) At test operation by test key, ice tray operates regardless of F compartment door opening.
This function basically stops the operation if the F compartment door is opened , so that noise may be minimized.
7-1) The ice extraction function promptly stops the operation when the F compartment door is opened while the ice
extraction is working where as normal operation is restored when the door is closed.
7-2) During water supply, normal function is performed regardless of the F compartment door opening.
7-3) When checking by opening the F compartment door, if the extraction has been tilted or is not horizontal, it is a stop
condition during ice extraction or horizontality operation because of the F compartment door opening. Then check
again after more than 30 seconds elapse from the time when the F compartment door closed to ensure a
horizontal condition after the water supply operation, if the extraction has not restored its horizontal status, it is ok
to judge it to be a trouble/ failure. When operation stops by the F compartment door opening during (ice
extraction) operation, because it has been during actual operation, even the test function does not work, but it may
work after water supply completion.
=> When checking by opening the F compartment door during ice extraction or horizontality operation, if the tray i
tilted or distorted , it is a stop condition because of F compartment door opening. Then check again after more
than 30 seconds have elapsed from time when the F compartment door closed, if the tray has not restored its
horizontal status, it is ok to judge it to be a trouble/ failure. When operation stops by the F compartment door
opening during ice extraction operation, because it has been during actual operation, even the test function
does not work.
7-4) During test operation by using the test key, the ice extraction operates regardless of F compartment door opening.
3-9) Defrosting Function
1) Defrosting of the F compartment, Arctic Select Zone, R compartment and the Fresh Select Zone is determined by
the cumulated time period of COMP. ON.
2) In case of initial POWER ON of the refrigerator product, defrosting of the Freezer Compartment and Arctic Zone is
executed when 4 hrs. of cumulated COMP. ON time period have elapsed.
3) The defrosting period is fixed to 8 hours.
4) Judgment of the defrosting period is determined by the exterior temperature, the number of times the F, R DOOR
OPEN, and the duration of the F, R DOOR OPEN period.
5) The defrosting point temperature HEATER ON (start temperature) is determined by the temperature reading of the
R defrosting sensor, the F defrosting sensor, the Artic Zone defrosting sensor and the Fresh Zone defrosting
sensor as follows:

3-12) Test Functions (Forced Operation Start and Forced Defrosting Functions)
If the Fresh Select Zone key and the F compartment key on the PANEL PCB are simultaneously pressed
for more than 8 seconds, then the TEST MODE is entered. Now, whether the F compartment key, the R
compartment key, the Arctic Select Zone key or the Fresh Select Zone key is pressed, it operates as a
TEST KEY.
If a TEST KEY is pressed, the test function is changed in sequence to forced operation start (FF) forced
R, CR defrosting
forced R, CR,F, CF defrosting
test cancellation (normal operation) forced
operation start.
To cancel the function during test function operation, it is the most desirable way to turn on the
power again after turning it off.
24

1) Forced Start Operation Function
1-1) Forced start operation is selected if the test key is pressed once while in the test mode. At that time the buzzer
executes an alarm by making a beep sound.
2-1) If forced start operation is selected , then COMP. operates immediately without a 5 minute delay, regardless of
operating mode. If it is during defrosting, defrosting shall promptly stop.
3-1) If forced start operation is selected, then the COMP. and F FAN perform a PULL-DOWN operation for 24 hours
while the R compartment is controlled by the set temperature.
4-1) The forced start operation is performed continuously performed until completed, canceled or converted to an other
mode (forced F, R, CF, CR defrosting).
5-1) If the forced start operation is selected , then along with it, a automatic selection is made for the F compartment
-13 and for the R compartment 33.8 These settings are not changed (maintains -13 and 33.8 )
even if forced defrosting or test cancellation is selected after more than 1 minute elapses under the condition
where forced start operation has been selected Nevertheless the setting are restored to the temperatures that
were set before the change to -13 and 33.8 if forced defrosting or test cancellation is selected before 1
minute elapses from the time when the forced start operation was selected.
6-1) If forced start operation is finished(24 hours), then F, CF compartment defrosting is executed regardless
of previous condition.
7-1) Next, it proceeds normal defrosting opera according to CASE judgment, performing defrosting of the R
compartment defrosting.
8-1) If randomly canceled during forced start operation (by cancellation mode), the COMP. ON time period during the
forced start operation is also added to the accumulation to be considered for the defrosting period.
9-1) The power freezing and power refrigeration functions do not work during forced start operation. If any of these
functions is selected, the LED display for the selected POWER function turns off spontaneously after
approximately 10 seconds..
2) Forced Defrosting Function
1-1) If test button is pressed a second time, then R compartment / CR compartment defrosting is executed, and if the
test button is pressed a third time, then simultaneous defrosting of F, CF, R, CR compartments is executed, and a
beeping sound alarm is also executed.
2-1) The beeping sound alarm is executed until completion time of the heating and pause time.
3) Test Cancellation Mode
3-1) If the display panel is converted to the test mode and the test button is pressed once more, under the
simultaneous defrosting condition, then defrosting of freeze and refrigeration partitions is canceled simultaneously
to return to normal operation. Or if main power is turned on after turnoff, then all test functions are canceled.
25

3-13) Alarm Function
1) Button Touch Sound (Refer to Sounds Table)
1-1) When touching each button on the control panel, an input confirmation sound is generated (see the following
table), according to each operating condition.

1-2) If several plural buttons are pressed simultaneously or in case of wrong button operation, an input confirmation
sound is not generated.
2) DOOR-OPEN Alarm Sound
2-1) If F compartment, R compartment, Arctic Zone, or Fresh Zone door remains open for 2 minutes in row, alarm
sound is generated by 10 times.
2-2) If the door open condition is maintained even longer, the operation recycles generating the alarm sound 10 times
per 1 minute period.
2-3) The alarm sound stops readily if the refrigerator compartment and the freezer compartment are both closed.
3-14) Communication Error Display Function

1) Display Function at PANEL
MAIN MICOM Communication Error
1-1) If 10 seconds elapse without response, after transmission of a communication request from the PANEL MICOM,
the PANEL PCB repeats ON/OFF until the communication error is cleared (by repeting ALL ON for 0. 5 second
and ALL OFF for 0. 5 second).
2) Display Function at MAIN
LOAD MICOM Communication Error
2-1) If 10 seconds elapse without response, after transmission of a communication request from the MAIN MICOM to
the LOAD [SUB(ORDINATE)] MICOM, then the PANEL PCB DISPLAY repeats ON/OFF until the communication
error is cleared (by repeting ALL ON for 0. 5 second and ALL OFF for 0. 5 second).
26

3-15) Self-Diagnostics Function
1) Self-Diagnostics Function at Initial POWER ON
1-1) MICOM judges internally by itself within several seconds whether there is any error in temperature sensor if electricity is
initially applied to the refrigerator.
1-2) If an inferior sensors are found as the result of Self-Diagnostics operation, all relevant display LEDs are flickering at 0.5
second interval. But no alarm sound is generated separately.
1-3) Under the condition where a display LED flickers due to a bad sensor occurrence, only the Self-Diagnostics function buttons
are recognized (the freezing setting + the Refrigeration setting keys shall be pressed simultaneously for 8 seconds) and
normal display does not proceeded while temperature control is executed only by an emergency operation.
1-4) The above status is canceled automatically in case an error with the Self-Diagnostics occurred, if all bad sensors would have
been repaired, or if the freezing setting + the Refrigeration setting keys are pressed simultaneously for 8 seconds.
Press the keys simultaneously for 8 seconds.
2) Self-Diagnostics Function during Normal Operation

2-1) If the freezing setting + the Refrigeration setting keys are pressed simultaneously for 6 seconds, during normal refrigerator
operation, the temperature-setting display flickers ALLON/OFF with 0. 5 second interval for about 2 seconds.The SelfDiagnostics function is selected when the freezing setting + the Refrigeration settingkeys are pressed simultaneously for
about 8 seconds, including the 2 seconds during which theLED repeats ON/OFF..
2-2) When the Self-Diagnostics mode is mode, the buzzer makes a ding-dong sound.
2-3) If the Self-Diagnostics mode is entered, then all LCDs turn off except relevant LCDs where function abnormality arose so as
to display their own defect occurrence (cf. Self-Diagnostics Check list below).
2-4) Display of error occurrence returns to normal condition after 30-second duration of error display regardless of repair. (Buzzer
sound off ding dong when returning to normal condition)
2-5) Button input is not accepted during Self-Diagnostics execution.
2-6) Among the above Self-Diagnostics items, ICE MAKER SENSOR AND ICE MAKER FUNCTION ERROR CHECKS are only
executed in case the user has selected ICE MAKER model option as an external attachment type.

3-16) Load Condition Display Function
1) If the freezing setting + the refrigeration setting keys are pressed simultaneously for about 6 seconds under normal
operation condition, the freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment temperature setting displays go on
ALL ON/OFF for about 2 seconds with a 0.5 second interval.
2) I the freezing setting + the refrigeration setting keys are pressed simulyaneously then released, and the Fresh Zone
setting key is pressed (to generate a ding-dong sound), the load status display mode is introduced.
3) Load status display mode tells what kind of load is output by the current MICOM signal. I tells only that a MICOM
signal has been output but it does not confirm whether or not the load actually operates. So even if the display output
shows that the load is operating , in reality the load might not operate due to load abnormality, bad relay on PCB etc.
while as such this function may be used in A/S by application.
4) Load status display function is maintained for only 30 seconds after which it automatically returns to normal condition.

3-17) Operation Condition Recovery Function in Case of Power Outage
1) In case of momentary electricity interruption, customer's NON-SENSE CALL would arise if PANEL DISPLAY is
initialized. To prevent this, initialization or recovery(of previous operation status) is operated by way of judging the
temperature in the freezer compartment.
2) If the temperature in the freezer compartment is judged to be below 41F at initial POWER ON, it is judged to be a
momentary electricity interruption during operation, and functions(power freezing, power refrigeration, setting of the
freezer compartment, setting of the refrigerator, setting of Arctic Select Zone, setting of Fresh Select Zone, ice type,
lock condition, etc.) related to PANEL DISPLAY are restored.
3) If the temperature in freezer compartment is judged to be above 41F at initial POWER ON, it is judged to be a longterm electricity interruption, and PANEL DISPLAY is initialized. (Automatic settings: freezer compartment at -2F ,
refrigerator compartment at 38F , Arctic Select Zone to freeze, and Fresh Select Zone to cool)
3-18) Option Setting Function

1) For example if you wish to shift the freezer compartment standard temperature down by 37.4F by adjusting option,
you may proceed as follows. As this function is to change standard temperature, if current standard temperature of
the Freezer Compartment is -0.4F and is lowered by 37.4F by using the option, then standard temperature is
adjusted at -5.8F. So in case where temperature option has been changed, internally it operates at actual standard
temperature -5.8F even if it is set at -0.4F on the panel. Therefore, adjusting standard temperature by 26.6F
indicates that the temperature is adjusted down by 26.6F from standard temperature that has been set on control
panel.
Note) In principle, product is delivered from warehouse with all data for optional functions cleared.
Namely, it is delivered from warehouse with all set values set to "0". However, since some part of
set values could have been changed during mass production for quality improvement purpose,
please always confirm the quality information and so on.
2) If the Arctic Select Zone Setting Key + Refrigerator Compartment Key is simultaneously pressed for about 12
seconds under normal operating condition, display is converted to an option setting mode.
3) After changing to option mode, display of "0" is lighted on the freezer compartment and refrigerator compartment
respectively. (Though it is supposed to be delivered from warehouse as such "0" for freezer compartment and "0" for

6-4) If there is a trouble with self-diagnosis(sensor failure)
- Error in sensor can be seen on the front display of refrigerator. If sensor failure is found when power is initially impressed to refrigerator, the product will
not work, and display is repeatedly blinking in the trouble occurred sensor.
- Even if sensor has failure during the oeration refrigerator will not stop working but cant run the normal cooling operation because of being operated in
the Emergency Operation mode. Thus, be sure to follow instructions in the manual when you make self-diagnosis.
1) If the ambient temperature sensor has trouble

This model has an ambient temperature sensing operation in the panel PCB. The sensed information is communicated
between main PCB and panel PCB. So you must review the causes of failure without disassembling the panel PCB. If it
displays the sensor ERROR in the parts related to the ambient temperature sensor on the panel, it is understood that the
communication with MAIN PCB is normal. In this case, check the sensor unit, missing wires and short & breaking or wires, etc.

12-1) POWER BUS
This POWER BUS, and SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply), is an improved efficiency power- convertion circuit for
converting AC input voltage to high voltage DC. However, a consistent attention should be paid to the POWER BUS
because 115V AC and 170V DC may be generated. The voltage input has AC applied into BD1(Rectifier Circuit) through
FUSE(F1) and LF1, and smoothes the rectified voltage through C101(180uF/450V). As a result, DC voltage is
applied into the SMPS TRANS. At the same time, the rectified DC voltage is applied into No 2. of U5(TOP246Y)08
through R24 and R25, and starts initial IC operation. With the role of SNUBBER Circuit (D1, R18, C7, TVS1, C8), also
controls the switching wave-formed P-P voltage to protect U5 IC. R21(2W470K) is the parts that special regard must be
paid to the safety against potential electric shock during SVC, which is charged with power ON and discharging
electricity with power OFF. When the initial operating voltage is applied into U5 No.2 PIN, the U5 IC starts high speed
(130KHz) switching operation. And then the input voltage is applied into NP1 (primary winding) of TRANS first,
and a voltage proportional to

IC75 #1 PIN, and the #18 PIN has a changed electric potential from OV to GND.
4) 12V is connected to CN76 , and input to C/F-FAN Vcc. FAN MOTOR GND is connected to IC75 #18 PIN
through CN76 .
5) Thus, with the IC75 #18 PIN changed to GND by the signal from MICOM#6 PIN, the
FAN MOTOR will be operated in the order 12V CN76 C/F -FAN Vcc
C/F-FAN GND
CN76
IC75 #18 PIN GND.
6) Here, with normal operation of the FAN MOTOR, a square wave is generated in MOTOR FG, and this wave is
input as follows, MOTOR FG CN76
R413 MICOM #8.
7) Using this FG signal, it can be determined whether the FAN MOTOR is operating normally, and in case of FG
signal errors, FAN motor errors are detected to use as refrigerator error data.
8) When the MICOM #6 signal changes to 0V again, IC75 # 1 PIN is OFF, and IC75 #18 PIN is
OFF. Thus, current cannot flow, and the FAN MOTOR will stop..

Impressed voltage on this part X3= motor operating voltage
MOTOR DRIVE CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS

1) This refrigerator uses BLDC MOTORS for the purpose of saving power consumption, the BLDC MOTOR is is used for
the freezing compartment, cooling compartment, and machine room motor (this motor drive circuit is a common circuit
used in other models)
2) PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
In the above electric circuits, you may notice that the circuits are similar for each motor. For example, the F-FAN motor
is represented here. FAN motor operates in high/low speed according to conditions. To operate the F-FAN, a certain
voltage should be applied OP-AMP #13 PIN as shown in the Figure.
A certain voltage is applied OP-AMP #13 according to the operation of MICOM #37(HIGH RPM), #36(LOW
PRM). Tripled by this voltage (Gain value currently set), you may get the voltage applied the motor.
If OP-AMP #13 PIN voltage is 3V, 9V is impressed into motor by 3V x 3 = 9V formula.

REMARKS
In case of normal motor operation, a certain
frequency is input to MICOM #31(F), #30(R),
#29(C), and the MICOM checks out for any
errors in motor operation based on this signal.
